摘要:
A polarizing element includes fine metal particles formed in numerous regions that were occupied by respective substantially needle-like metal halide fine particles before reduction that are oriented and dispersed in a glass substrate such that the lengthwise directions thereof are almost the same, the fine metal particles being produced by heat-treating the glass substrate in a reducing atmosphere to reduce the substantially needle-like metal halide fine particles. The number of fine metal particles present in at least some of the numerous regions is two or more in each region, 90% or more of the regions each have a volume of 2,500 to 2,500,000 nm3, and the individual volumes of the fine metal particles present in each region are 4 to 40% of the volume of the region in 90% or more of the total number of the regions.

摘要:
A method of producing a gradient-index lens includes a first step in which a glass body is immersed into a molten salt containing ions which are able to provide a refractive index higher than that of ions constituting the glass body, in order to perform ion diffusion into the glass body. Thereafter, in a second step the glass body obtained from the first step is immersed into a molten salt containing ions which provide a refractive index lower than that of the ions of the molten salt used in the first step. In this way there is formed a predetermined refractive index distribution in the glass body.

Chalcogenide glass fibers having a glass core with two cladding glass layers, the second cladding glass layer having a refractive index lower than that of the core glass and higher than that of the first cladding glass. The core glass does not contain germanium. Glass fiber having this core-cladding structure is mechanically strong and exhibits only small transmission loss of infrared light passing through the fiber.
摘要:
A uniform refractive index-type glass is prepared by ion exchange in which a glass containing ions of a first type is immersed in a molten salt containing ions of a second type, the ions in the molten salt having a higher refractive index than the ions in the glass. The glass is removed from the molten salt at a predetermined point and before the saturation point or equilibrium and the ion distribution becomes uniform throughout the glass. The concentration of first and second ions is not uniform from the center of the glass to its outer surface. The glass is next heated to make the concentrations of the first and second ions substantially uniform throughout the glass from the center to the outer surface. Optionally, this glass is then immersed in a molten salt containing a third type of ion having a lower refractive index than the second ion for exchange with part of the ions in the second type. A gradient refractive index-type glass in which the concentration of the second type of ions decreases parabolically from the center of the glass to the outer surface while the concentration of the third type of ions increases parabolically from the center of the glass to the outer surface.
